Different Sides to Every Story (Sanders sides)

Logan

I walked into Y/n's room and sat down on her bed. I picked up the guitar and started strumming a tune.

"It was 6:48, I was walking home
Stepped through the gate, and I'm all alone
I had chicken on the plate, but the food was cold
Then I covered up my face so that no one knows
I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble
But then came trouble
When my mom walked into the living room
She said, "Boy, you gotta tell me what they did to you"
I said, "You don't wanna know the things I had to do"
She said, "Son, you gotta tell me why you're black and blue"
I said I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble
But then came trouble" I sang. People don't really know I know how to play the guitar. I tell them I don't like to sing, but this is one of those occasions. Rare occasions. This happened to be one of those days where I just can't find anything to do to occupy my time.

"And my heart was pumping, chest was screaming
Mind was running, air was freezing
Put my hands up, put my hands up
I told this kid I'm ready for a fight

Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain
Every time you curse my name
I know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen
Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground
It's only gonna let you down
Come the lightning and the thunder
You're the one who'll suffer, suffer

Well I squared him up, left my chest exposed
He threw a quick left hook and it broke my nose
I had thick red blood running down my clothes
And a sick, sick look 'cause I like it though
I said I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble
But then came trouble

And my heart was pumping, chest was screaming
Mind was running, nose was bleeding
Put my hands up, put my hands up
I told this kid I'm ready for a fight

Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain
Every time you curse my name
I know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen
Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground
It's only gonna let you down
Come the lightning and the thunder
You're the one who'll suffer" I sang letting my fingers strum the strings beautifully. I didn't even notice Logan was watching from the door with a smile on his face. I noticed after a while and waved before continuing to play.

"It was 6:48, he was walking home
With the blood on his hand from my broken nose
But like every other day, he was scared to go
Back to his house 'cause his pops was home
Drowning his troubles in whiskey bubbles
Just looking for trouble
Well, there's no excuse for the things he did
But there's a lot at home that he's dealing with
Because his dad's been drunk since he was a kid
And I hope one day that he'll say to him
"Put down those bubbles and that belt buckle
In this broken bubble"

Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain
Every time you curse my name
I know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen
Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground
It's only gonna let you down
Come the lightning and the thunder
You're the one who'll suffer, suffer" I finished. Logan clapped for me which made my face turn a little red.

"That was really good, Morgan. I had no idea you knew how to play guitar" He told me sitting down on the bed next to me.

"Not many people to ask to be fair." I responded looking back down at the guitar.

"What other songs can you play?" He asked.

"I will only play another one if you sing it with me" I told him smirking a little. He chuckled.

"It guess that would be fine" He told me. I started strumming a song that I think we both knew. Normally, I would play piano with this song, but I transposed it into guitar notes a while back.

"City of stars, Are you shining just for me?
City of stars, There's so much that i can't see. Who knows,
I felt it from the first embrace
I shared with you..."Logan sang looking at me. I didn't know he was such a good singer!

"That now Our dreams,
They've finally come true" I sang looking at him. I smiled before starting my verse.

"City of stars, Just one thing everybody wants.

There in the bars, and through the smokescreen of the crowded restaurants,
It's love,
Yes, all we're looking for is love
From someone else..." I sang sweetly.

"A rush" Logan sang.

"A glace" I sang.

"A touch" He sang

"A dance" I sang back letting my fingers pluck the right notes.

"To look in somebody's eyes,
To light up the skies,
To open the world and send me reeling,
A voice that says,
I'll be here, and you'll be alright.
I don't care if I know
Just where I will go
'Cause all that I need, this crazy feeling, Ra-ta-tat of my heart" We harmonized as I lightly chuckled.

"I think I want it to stay" Logan sang putting a hand on my thigh. I smiled at him continuing to play the right notes.

"City of stars, Are you shining just for me?
City of stars," Logan sang looking at me dearly.

"Never shined so brightly" I sang finishing up the song. Logan and I looked at each other smiling.

"Did you really mean it?" He asked. I put down the guitar.

"Of course! Did you?" I asked eagerly awaiting an answer from him.

"I did" He replied grabbing my hand. I reached forward and kissed him gently on the lips for a few seconds. We talked a little more before we went into our room and talked.

"I never asked. Why were you all alone in Y/n's room?" He asked. I sighed turning to him.

"There was the memory that was brought up earlier today and I couldn't stop thinking about it for some reason" I told him.

"What was the memory?" He asked. I breathed deeply and I felt Logan grab my hand.

"Y/n was getting abused by her father and of course, they didn't know about us. One day, Y/n got home late from school and went to sleep. We were all in her mind at the time so when we heard her father slam the door downstairs we knew she was in for it. I did something that day I will never forget. I exited her mind on her own with some clothes I thought she would wear. Her father called her down stairs and I went downstairs instead. I couldn't bear to see her get hurt anymore after all she had already had a bad day at school." I explained feeling tears well up in my eyes.

"As soon as I got to the bottom of the stairs, a bottle was thrown not far from my head. I felt my cheek and neck get cut up in the process. He yelled at me, hit me, kicked me, and bruised all over. I felt powerless. It was terrifying. Her dad left again so it was just us. I heard rushing footsteps and there were the rest of the sides. Y/n rushed to my side and helped me up stairs. She cleaned up my cuts and told me to never do that again. I told her it was fine and to go back to sleep." I finished feeling tears fall down my cheeks. I felt Logan reach up and wipe my remaining tears away.

"That was an incredibly brave thing you did, Morgan. I'm glad you are okay now. Thank you for trusting me enough to tell me something so personal" Logan told me resting his hand on my cheek gently.

"Thanks for listening, Lo" I replied breathing out gently. After a while I rested my head on his lap as we watched a documentary of some sort.
